Additive Manufacturing Policy: Aircraft Maintenance Division AFS-300 is revising Additive Manufacturing policy and guidance contained in FAA Order 8900.1, Volume 6, Chapter 11, Section 29. Please do not use any previous or printed versions of this original policy.

FAA EASA part 145: Certification approval renewals for FAA EASA repair stations affected by the Partial Government shutdown are granted a 60-day extension for renewal certification. Letter from FAA to EASA and response from EASA are under Agency Response to Shutdown on the Publications - Other Document page in FSIMS.

FSIMS contains a link to the Safety Assurance System (SAS) Safety Attribute Videos. There are seven (7) safety attributes, which serve as the FAA’s means of understanding and assessing the capability and maturity of certificate holder’s system safety and safety management practices, and apply to both small and large certificate holders. These videos are a valuable resource, which will enhance a certificate holder’s understanding of the safety attributes. The Safety Attribute Videos link to the videos is located on the “Active Publications” page in FSIMS.
